This paper presents the results of a parametric experimental study of free swirling flow at the
exit of a flat-vane axial swirler. A total of 16 data sets were acquired by combining four …

We report on experimental and analytical studies of strongly swirling air flow in the near-field
of a generic axisymmetric tangential swirler used often as swirl generator in combustors …

This study utilised planar Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to investigate the flow
characteristics in a semi cylindrical confinement with 2 jet inlets. The water based …

Swirl flow has applications in many of the engineering equipments. Good amount of
calculations exist which have been developed for design of propellers. However, swirler …

The effects of swirl on the rate of mass flow and on the velocity field in the throat region of axi-
symmetric nozzles are studied analytically and experimentally. In the analytical phase …

Swirling gas flow is an important topic of research that helps in the design of rockets,
atomizers, and gas turbine combustors. In the present work, swirl flow inside annular …

This work presents a semi-empirical correlation for the swirl number of a radial-type swirl
generator under different conditions of both the Reynolds number and the angle of the …

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the aerodynamic characteristics of the
confined, non-reacting, swirling flow field. The flow was generated by a helicoidal axial …

Confined turbulent air swirling flows are investigated for two configurations where swirl is
produced by a conventional radial type swirler. The flow Reynolds number based on the …

In this study, we investigated the isothermal swirling flow at the exit of a model burner with a
radial vane swirler. Velocity profiles were measured with varying guide vane angle and …
